WALL-QR RECESS BED.

Application filed April 21,1921. Serial No. 463,380.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that L'RUDOLF J ACOBI, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented a certain ,new

and useful WVall or Recess Bed,.of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a wall or recess bed, which may be positioned in a recessin a wall of a room or may be covered with a curtain in a room'as desired. The objects of my'invention are; first, to provide a bed of this class which maybe turned into a vertical position when not in use in which position it occupies very littlespace-on the floor of the'room or very little recess space in the wall; second, to provide'a novelly constructed wall bed structure of this class; third, to provide a novel means for supporting said bed in a vertical'position whennot in use; fourth to provide a bed structure of this class in which an ordinary bed frame may be utilized with means in connection therewith for moving it from a horizontal to a vertical position and from a vertical to a horizontalposition and supporting it in eitherof such positions, and fifth, to provide' a bed of this class which is very simple and economical of construction, durable, easy to operate, easy to'install andwhich will not readily deteriorate or get out of order. l

With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter my invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of reference thereon, which'forma'part of this application, in which 2-- Figure l, is a sectionalplan view of a wall with a recess therein showing my bed in its vertical position as positioned therein when not in use. Fig. 2, is a'n-elevational view of the bed in its verticalposition showing the side facing the-room, and-showing portions broken away at one end to facilitate the illustration. Fig. 3, is an end elevational view thereof, and showing the support 5 in its supporting position by dotted lines, and Fig. 4., is an end elevational view of the bed when in a horizontal position, and down ready for use. p I

Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts and portions throughout the several views of the drawings.

The bed spring frame 1, including the side and end frames and springs is of the ordinary-or conventionaltype. The end members 2, upright supports 3, stop members 4,- hinged supports 5, braces 6, supporting legs 7,braces 8 and connecting rod 9, constitute the principal parts and portions of my bed structure.

The end members 2, are secured to the end of the conventional bed spring frame, and these members are pivotally mounted intermediate their ends preferably nearer one end than the other on the uprights 3, by means ofL shaped pipe members 9, which extend through said end members 2 and the member 3. This member 9*, extends down w.ardl yandconnects with a main pipe 9, by -means of T members 9*, which rods 9 and members 9 and 9 'forms the support for the uprights 3 and hold them in proper-relation to ,each other. These uprights 3 are mounted oncasters 3 which facilitates their movement on the floor. Hinged to the front sides of the supports 3, are the supporting members 5, which are of considerable length and-on the lower sides oftheir'extended ends are mounted casters 5*. Pivotally mounted on each of these supports 5 is a' brace member6,;which is provided with a notch 6 in i'tsone end and is adapted to engage a staple member 3 in-the support 3 bracing the support 3-relatively to the support 5, and in such position permitting the bed to be raised at its outer end with the movement of the member 6 so that latch 6 is disengaged. Pivotally mounted on these end members 2 are also the supporting legs 7, by means of the braces 8. These members 7 will swing 'into' position when the frame is let down, as shown best in'Fig. 4 of the drawings, for supporting the bed when down and rest against the frame when up in a vertical position as shown in Fig. 3. The members 2 are each provided in one end witha caster 'Q -Whicha're adapted to roll against the wall with the moving of the-bed fromthe horizontal-to the vertical position. Secured to the floor a short distance from the wall, are the stop members 4, which are adapted to engage the lower extending portion 1 of the spring frame 1, sothat when it is desired to move the bed from the vertical position to the horizontal position for use, the operator releases the member 5 letting it down as tion and may be braced by the brace 8 if desired. In repositioning the bed in a vertical position the operator grasps the frameat the outside pushes it against the wall and raises it at the same time the supports 3 are moving inwardly. The casters 2 engage the side wall and the bed assumes a vertical position. The movement being caused by pushing the frame work toward the wall with the casters 2 against the wall and the side raill resting against the inner side of stops. against the bed when in vertical position and the members 5 may be raised up against the bed by releasing the brace member 6 from the keeper 3 and letting the brace member pass through said keeper.

Though I have shown and described aparticular construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions I do not wish to be limited to this particular construction, combination and arrangement but desire to include in the purview of my invention the construction, combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.

It is obvious that with this construction there is provided a bed frame, consisting :of the ordinary bed spring frame and provided with means for pivotally supporting it upon a longitudinal axis intermediate its sides so that it may be tilted in a vertical position on said support or let down in ahorizontal position for use; that the movement from the vertical to the horizontal position is retarded so that it moves in a slow, orderly manner by means of the rollers 2 against the wall, and at the same time moving the carriage outwardly by the pressure against the wall, but when it assumes a horizontal position the leg members 7, support the long end and the supports 3 are braced by means of the supports 5 and braces 6. The stop members 4: on the floor engaging the side rail 1 of the frame causes the pivotal movement with the movement of the bed outwardly.

Having thus described my invention what The leg members 7 drop down- I claim as new and desire to secure by 'Letters Patent, is

1. A bed of the class described adapted to be shifted to a vertical position adjacent a wall, including a spring frame, supports upon which said frame is pivotally mounted at its opposite ends intermediate its sides, and provided with rollers to facilitate the movement of said supports, stop members positioned a short distance from the wall adapted to engagethe one side rail of the spring frame for tilting the same with the outward movement of the supports on the floor and means adapted to engage the wall of the room for retarding the movement of said frame on its pivotal mounting.

2. A bed of the class described adapted to be shifted to a vertical position adjacent a wall, including a spring frame, supports upon which said frame is pivotally mounted at its opposite ends intermediate its sides, and provided with rollers to facilitate the movement of said support, stop members positioned a short distance from the wall adapted to engage the one side rail of the spring frame for tilting the same with the outward movement of the supports on the floor, means adapted to engage the wall of the room for retarding the movement of said frame on its pivotal mounting, and means hinged to said support adapted to extend into the room for bracing and sustainin said supports and supporting the free sicIe of the spring frame thereon.

a short distance from the wall, adapted to engage one side of .the spring frame for tilting the same with the outward movement of the supports.

' 3. A bed of the class described adapted to y 4. A bed of the class described adapted to be shifted to a vertical position adjacent a wall, including a spring frame, movable supports upon which said frame is pivotally mounted, stop membersj positioned a short distance from the wall, adapted to engage one side of the spring frame for tilting the same with the outward movement of the supports, and means adapted to engage the wall of the room for retarding the pivotal movement of said frame.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at San Diego, California, this 15th day of April, 1921.
